| Navigator view</H1> |
| <P CLASS="Intro"> |
| |
| The Navigator view provides a hierarchical view of the resources in the Workbench. |
| From here, you can open files for editing or select resources for operations such |
| as exporting.</p> |
| <P CLASS="Para"> |
| <img src="../images/Image241_nav_view.png" alt="Picture of Navigator view showing a simple hierarchy (project, folders, files)" border="0"></P> |
| <P CLASS="Para"> |
| Right-click on any resource in the Navigator view to open a pop-up menu that |
| allows you to perform operations such as copying, moving, creating new |
| resources, comparing resources with each other, or performing team |
| operations. To see a description of what each menu item does, move selection |
| highlight to that menu item and press the context-sensitive help key (e.g., F1 |
| on Microsoft Windows).</P> |
| <P CLASS="Para"> |
| By default, the Navigator view is included in the Resources perspective. To add it |
| to the current perspective, click |
| <a class="command-link" href='javascript:executeCommand("org.eclipse.ui.views.showView(org.eclipse.ui.views.showView.viewId=org.eclipse.ui.views.ResourceNavigator)")'> |

| <dd>Collapses the tree expansion state of all resources in the view.</dd> |
| <dt>Link with Editor</dt> |
